I make a lot of purses and use the fusible fleece ironed to the fabric. I use a square piece of the leftovers.

I too have some really old presser feet with scratches on the under side. I just thought it was from sewing over pins. I have noticed that some of the newer ones don't quite line up with the feed dogs. Guess I really didn't give it a thought about the metal involved, it is easy to see plastic. Is one metal supposed to be better than the other?
